      <abstract>
        <p>This work introduces the Kuffi- Abbas- Jawad transform, also known as the KAJ- integral transformation. We discuss key KAJ- transition properties and their cryptographic applications. An application is presented to demonstrate how to encrypt a plaintext and decrypt it using the KAJ- transform technique and inverse KAJ- transform, respectively.</p>
